On Wednesday, the kids and I threw a costume party here! Costumes were required for children and moms!

There were nine moms and twenty kids.

Everyone brought food to add to a smorgasbord lunch, which included munchies (chips, crackers, pretzels), cookie-cutter cut peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwiches, fruit salad. For desert, we had jello jigglers and a mud pie.

We played games, including a blindfolded “guess the object” game. My favorite was a jar of pickles. Other objects included dry rice, a fork, sunglasses, an army guy, bar of soap, a spoon, a plastic horse and a shoe. We also played, “musical squares” (using construction paper instead of chairs).

Aiden was a cowboy.
I was Mary Poppins (yes, that’s a brown bag on my head).
Tabitha was a princess.
Thomas refused to wear a costume, and picked out a sweat pants outfit instead. We all decided that his costume was that of a college student.
